Contrasting the athletic individuality of the stylish exterior, the ample capacity of the luggage space highlights the practical convenience of the packaging and smart design of the cabin.

The Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System features a compact 12-channel amplifier to drive 14 GreenEdge ultra-high efficiency speakers that generate outstanding output while significantly reducing energy consumption. A 5.1/7.1-channel surround system contributes to the high fidelity, concert hall-quality sound. The Auto Volume System automatically adjusts the audio system volume to complement the genre of each song as it is played.
The 3-spoke steering wheel with prominent Lexus L emblem in the center was designed with sports driving in mind. The cross section shape of each grip section was optimized to fit comfortably in the hands and enhance grip feel. Switches integrated into the steering wheel enable convenient control of select functions on a number of systems, including the audio system, hands-free calling, voice recognition, and multi-information display.
The wide, color head-up display projects a range of frequently checked information on the lower windshield glass in the driver’s line of sight, including the current speed, tachometer, audio system, and more.
Simple touchpad operation lets users interact intuitively with the navigation and audio systems on the 10.3-inch EMV display, providing easy control of the systems.
The 4-dial meter combines a three-dimensional analog speedometer and tachometer with a digital multi-information display that changes between blue and red illumination to highlight the drive mode selected.
This function coordinates the display of information from the multimedia systems on the 10.3-inch EMV (Electro Multi-Vision) display in the center of the instrument panel and the 4.2-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) multi-information display in the meter cluster. For convenience, audio system information, incoming mobile calls, and some navigation on the EMV display can also be displayed on the multi-information display, and controlled using switches on the steering wheel.
A refined touch is the unique shape of the dual exhaust pipes that hint at the sporty power of the turbo engine. Seen from the side, their long proportions accentuate a sense of presence.
The compact and highly-rigid MacPherson strut front suspension and double wishbone rear suspension were optimized to deliver agile handling and luxurious ride comfort. A close focus on individual components included refining the coil springs, stabilizers, shock absorbers, and suspension bushings.
Careful refining of each shock absorber component, including the pistons and seals, helps to smooth minor road inputs and absorb larger jolts, maintaining a supple feel for agile handling together with excellent ride comfort.
